About the TJ's run, yes. About the 45 minutes of exposition, no, sadly, that is what sources are saying.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Rereading, I find myself wondering how they are getting multiple movies, let alone 3-hour ones.
Apparently they're including a lot of stuff with the indices and events that are only alluded to as happening off-screen (off page?). Basically it will also fill in the narrative between the Hobbit and the beginning of Fellowship. I know there's at least one Gandalf wizard thingie that they're filming but is only alluded to in The Hobbit proper.

So runpee.com is going to have lots of choices.

I actually think that runpee's recommendation is likely going to be: watch the first 30 minutes, go to the bathroom at any point before the last 30 minutes.

It's kind of sad not to have an automatic "Oh, there's Arwen, I can go pee now" signal.
edit: I have honestly never seen some of her scenes.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
they have the technology to do it. I use an app called Into Now which when you point your phone at the TV, it can identify the tv program (show and episode) you are watching!
RunPee can do this with movies, easy.

Except that pointing your cameraphone at the screen in a movie theater will generally get you kicked out.

I think the RunPee app has a thing where you press a button when the movie starts, and if you have your phone on vibrate, it will go off at the designated pee moments.
(I haven't tried it, but I feel like I read something about it.)

jessica,
good point, but I only need to make sure sound gets to the phone, so I don't really need to point it at the tv at home. I can use Into Now if the tv is loud enough.
you'd probably need to turn the phone's screen brightness down though.
